Keep going ;
**semi colon ; is the option to stop but you decided to keep going.** I remember my 15 year old self inside her small bedroom, looking at the ceiling thinking about her life. I couldnt understand a lot of things in my life that time. I keep asking why is it happening to me and what is it for. It gets tiring, because all my 15 year old self do is to overthink and blame myself for the things I dont have a control of. It came to the point that I was about to end my life. You know i was too tired I decided to give up. Then this person came in my life. No he is not my lover but he is my bestfriend, my comfort place and my safe haven. He taught me things and made me realized how beautiful living is. I remember him telling me that its okay to get tired, to feel exhausted emotionally, mentally and physically and most importantly its okay to rest when things get hard. One thing that I really wont forget is when he told me ***"You are important. You are enough. You must keep going"*** Thats when I also learned about this **semi colon.** And I think Im one of those semi colons now, I had the choice to stop, to end it but I chose to keep going. To continue living, to be alive. I hope you all who will be able to read this and going through something right now. I hope you'll chose to be a semi colon. And like what that man told me, Im going to say it to you as well. **You are important. You are enough. You must keep going.**

This really happens. There are times that we felt only the pain and tiresome of living, but then, there are many reasons to stay alive and live a life.
Yes and thats why I keep living, To experience all those reasons why is should stay alive.
You've done a great job by choosing to live. I hope that those people who are experiencing this kind of situation can also overcome their struggles.
I hope the same too thats why I bottled up a courage to write this article so people can be inspired to keep going.
I am glad that you chose to keep on going. The world sure is chaotic and bit harsh for a delicate soul. I saw courage in this writing, may it inspire more and may it be heard by the ones who need it and the ones who need to know that this kind of struggle exist and can happen to anyone. Keep on striving, keep on fighting, you are not alone.
wait this is very touching 😭😭 thank you so much for your kind words. I actually had a hard time writing this one because it reminds me of how cruel life was for me before and until now but I want people to know that they are not alone in this battle and that theres still hope.
Not same battles are fought but you arent fighting alone. There's hope. There's always hope. I hope you write more to express this kind human experience, we learn from it and we appreciate it. It must've took a lot of courage. Keep on fighting, warrior!
Thank you so much winona. Your words means a lot to me. I hope you know that this made me happy and even more proud of myself for living my life and not ending it. you are wuch an amazing human being

In life, we don't need periods. We meed semicolon to remind our selfs that we are allowes to pause and rest. But, after that, we will continue to finish what we have started.
Yes. Thats why I really love this punctuation mark. It speaks a lot for me
You may feel alone and worthless but that doesn't mean that what you feel is true. You have disrespected yourself for thinking you are weak and so tired to keep going. Never underestimate your capability Who else is gonna believe you if you, yourself is doubting yourself. you were young then and full of hatred in your heart. you hated this you hated that and then you grew tired of those hatred. what do you feel when you wanna do somethjng but you cant cause you have no control of the situation? you get mad right? that's what happened to you. it's true what that young man said to you. it's true but sadly you needed someone else to say that to you. be strong because not all the time you will meet someone to push you harder. not all the time you meet someone to tell you good things to keep you alive. you are your own responsibility and you are your own strength. it's nice to know that you already passed that bad situation in your life. but always remember that, there may come a time that it may happen to you again. that time, remember that you dont need anyone's validation to remind yourself that you are worthy. remind yourself and let yourself be the bestfriend you've ever had. :)
Hi jdine as much as i appreciate what youre saying based from experience its really not that easy to tell yourself to be strong. There are times when all I do is blame myself and yeah i know its wrong but can you blame me? Thats what people are making me feel so even tho i wanted to be there for myself i cant because people destroyed how i see myself.
it's not that i'm blaming you. I'm just pointing out my opinion about the story. people can only destroy you if you allow them to. telling someone to be strong is easy and if the other person is willing, he will take that as a challenge. besides, it's for her own good and not the person that told her to. if you're not willing to pick yourself up and be brave, who will do it for you? another man? then when things go bad, you compare that man again to your past? then you feel broken again. then wait for another man? i don't mean this only for you, this is in general. i mean a broken girl looking for a man to validate her worth then looses that man, validation is broken again, now she's looking or waiting for another man to validate her.. no man wants a weak woman. men also need strong women. a relationship where both parties bring out the best of each other is more wonderful than a relationship with only one person that has courage.
ehh??? i think you didnt get the whole point of my article. your words may seem encouraging for you but for someone like me who was and still struggling right now this is not helping at all. but still thank you so much for your comment.
no, take it as an encouragement for you to be strong. when the time comes that you already feel good about yourself without the feel to need someone else, you will realize that you need to love yourself. if it's so hard for you, and if you're struggling, pray. pray for strength and courage to love yourself. you need to love yourself. you need to feel good for yourself. it's a hard process but the outcome will be great. AS you said, you keep on going on after all. Then keep moving forward and slowly learn to value your worth.
what your friend told you was right. but you need to live with it. you need to really feel you're important, worthy and keep going. if you start looking at yourself positively and not judge yourself, you'll feel better. as you react, you seem like you're your worst critic. pls just stop lowering your own value. pls stand up and be brave even if standing up is very hard. try try try harder until you will be able to. you need you.
Never stop, keep going. But make sure you are on the right track or else, it'll all be a waste of time. I tell most people to take a pause every now and then and look at the direction they're taking, if its the right one, then push, if not then stop.
Thank you so much and what you said is right. Though it makes me wonder how can someone really say that they are in the right track when none of us know what future awaits for us???
Semi.colon ,common illness for a woman would have. I think family support is a big help for you.Feel free to share ur problems to them. Kinda worth it. Don't think ur alone. God sent someone u can lean on. Always pray and keep safe!
I think its not only for women but to every one. And i think its unappropriate to call it illness. But thank you so much for giving me advice, I will always pray. Keep safe too
Your friend is so right. You are so lucky to have smeone like him in your life. I loved the semicolon exemple. Thumb up!
